Chapter Fifteen: Hidden Secondary Occupation

  "Item: Golden Letter, Effect: Can trigger hidden secondary occupation quest. Bring it to Krones in Lethal Mountains City and complete his trial to become a noble alchemist."

  This is the item information given by the system, what is Alchemist, Ye Chen was not very clear, but just the words "Hidden Secondary Occupation" had already deeply moved him. In God's Domain, how do ordinary players make money? Apart from fighting for money and materials, they can only do secondary occupations. There are many types of secondary occupations, such as Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Pharmacy, Inlaying, Dismantling, Engineering, etc. Each secondary occupation can earn money, even the lowest-level Gathering can earn a living. However, these ordinary secondary occupations are simple to learn, so there are many players in each secondary occupation. Unless they raise their secondary occupation level, it's hard to achieve anything.

  But hidden secondary occupations are completely different, it can be said that each hidden secondary occupation is a small printing press, because of the monopoly, every hidden secondary occupation is a monopolistic occupation, many good things can only be made by hidden secondary occupations, and they are in short supply, if you don't get rich, it's not their fault.

  So compared to hidden secondary occupations, White Silver equipment doesn't amount to much.

  "I'll take these two, the remaining ones, two silver equipment go to Dingyuan and Shang, two bronze equipment go to Ling Hu Shen Yue, and we'll split the gold coins equally." Ye Chen said, not waiting for the two to express their opinions, directly using his authority as the team leader to distribute the equipment and gold coins.

  Ling Huashen's face turned red with rage, losing the Youming grass had already infuriated her, and now she couldn't even get a piece of silver equipment. This was far from her original plan to take everything for herself, it was unbearable. She glared, clenching her fists: "Why? We agreed to split it evenly, at least I should have gotten one piece of silver equipment!"

  "Tonight, we should indeed give her one..."

  Ye Chen waved his hand to interrupt Ding Yuan and Shang, turned to face Ling Hu Shen Yue with a cold smile, and stared into her eyes: "What's the reason? You asked a good question! I'd like to ask you too. Why did the Ice Sacrifice King mutate? Why weren't you surprised when the boss mutated? Why didn't you tell me and Shang in advance that the boss would mutate? What are you hiding? Are you using me and Ding Yuan and Shang as pawns?"

  Ling Hu Shen Yue was suddenly bombarded with questions by Ye Chen, and her feet became disordered. A look of panic appeared on her face. She really didn't understand how Ye Chen could know so clearly, this completely exceeded her expectations: "I, I didn't..."

  "Do you still want to quibble?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ling Huo Shen Yue with a slanted gaze, and said coldly: "You used me and the monk as pawns. If it weren't for the fact that you actually contributed, I wouldn't have given you either of the bronze artifacts. Take your things and leave quickly before I change my mind. Don't blame me if you don't!" As Ye Chen spoke, he threw a black fireball at a nearby Half-Blooded Ice Sacrifice, instantly killing it with a single blow. This was the final strike before the high-level attack ring disappeared.

  Looking at the damage value of over a thousand points, Ling Huo Shen Yue's body trembled, and her face showed a hint of fear. However, she still glared venomously at Ye Chen and Ding Yuan, gritting her teeth as she said: "You, you guys, humph! Today I, Ling Huo Shen Yue, admit defeat! But today's matter, I will remember it! Our Ling Huo Workshop will also remember it! In the future, you'd best not fall into my hands, especially you, Ye Chen, I'll remember you!"

  After finishing her harsh words, Ling Huo Shen Yue glared at Ye Chen with a deep hatred in her eyes, then hastily tore the Return City Scroll to pieces and immediately returned to the city.

  Until the Spirit Fox's divine light dissipated, Ding Yuan and Shang were scratching their heads in confusion. They looked at Ye Chen with some puzzlement and asked: "What exactly happened? I'm still a bit confused now. From what you said, did those two girls outsmart us?"

  Ye Chen smiled and nodded, "Indeed, that woman has calculated us two. She accepted a special task with the target being the killing of this Ice Frost Festival King. The task can make this boss mutate, she knew it early on but didn't say anything. At first, she was probably afraid that if we knew, we wouldn't let her join our team. Later, she probably wanted to deceive us, waiting for us to kill the boss so she could get more equipment."

  Ding Yuan and Shang suddenly understood the reason, his eyes widened in anger, and he shouted: "Stinky Sanba, don't let me meet her again, otherwise I'll kill her every time I see her. What kind of crappy Ling Huo Workshop are they? They have people, we don't? Ye Chen brothers, if she dares to bother you again, just call me, Shang and I may not have much else, but we have many brothers, let's take them down!"

  Ye Chen rubbed his chin and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't forget you. If something really happens, I won't be polite to you."

  After hanging out in Qingyu Workshop for a month, Ye Chen understood the truth of having multiple friends and paths. With Deyin and Shang being such powerful friends, establishing a relationship with them was one of Ye Chen's plans from the start. Now that they had a common enemy, their relationship naturally took another step forward.

  Of course, Ye Chen wasn't just any friend either. Ding Yuan and Shang Shi really suited his taste - straightforward, pleasant to be around, principled in their actions, like someone you could get along with.

  "That's good, don't be polite to me." Dingyuan and Shanghaha laughed and took out two pieces of white silver equipment from the package, facing Ye Chen: "I don't know what use those two things you chose have, nor do I want to know. But in my eyes, I really got a good deal this time. These are two pieces of white silver equipment! Leshan City only has a few pieces of white silver equipment, and both of them are mine? I'm overwhelmed. Moreover, it was all thanks to you that we could take down this boss. You must choose one piece, otherwise don't call me brother."

  Ye Chen was slightly surprised by the words, he carefully looked at Ding Yuan and Shang again, seeing that their faces and eyes were full of sincerity, without any pretence, then smiled and nodded: "Alright, I'll take one, this 25-level white silver staff will do, you can keep that 30-level physical attack weapon for yourself, it would be a waste if I took it."

  Ye Chen didn't actually tell the truth at that time. What is he doing? Game studio! A game studio is supposed to make money, so a level 30 silver-grade physical attack weapon must be more valuable than a level 25 silver-grade staff. He could sell it for a higher price, but he won't do that because if he did, Ding Yuan and Shang would definitely feel distant from him, even if they didn't say anything on the surface. This friend would have been made in vain. Logically speaking, a game studio should prioritize profits, but unfortunately, Ye Chen hasn't done well in this aspect.

  "Ye Chen brothers, this level 30 silver weapon is worth a lot of money, are you really not choosing this?" Ding Yuan and Shang rubbed his bald head, smiling at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen smiled calmly: "Money is good, but brothers are better, no brothers, no gaming."

  That tone, that expression, is simply over the top.

  "Alright, alright! A phrase that goes 'no brothers, no gaming', I've made up my mind about this brother of mine!" Ding Yuan and Shang Heng's eyes lit up at the same time, and with a loud "slap", they slapped their hands together heavily.

  Ye Chen saw this and smiled slightly, very satisfied with the effect of his own pretending.
